This commit adds a gradle project, set inside the root build.gradle,
which controls all our bwc tests. This allows for seamless (ie no errant
CI failures) backporting of behavior.
This adds an option to `ClusterConfiguration` to preserve the
`shared` directory when starting up a new cluster and switches
the `qa:full-cluster-restart` tests to use it rather than
disable the clean shared task.

The Lucene version constants for 5.4.1 and 5.5.0 are wrong, they are
listed as 6.5.0 instead of 6.5.1. This commit fixes these issues, and
adds a test to ensure that this does not happen again.
Relates #24923
Removes the need for the `_UNRELEASED` suffix on versions by detecting if a version should be unreleased or not based on the versions around it. This should make it simpler to automate the task of adding a new version label.
These tests spin up two nodes of an older version of Elasticsearch,
create some stuff, shut down the nodes, start the current version,
and verify that the created stuff works.
You can run `gradle qa:full-cluster-restart:check` to run these
tests against the head of the previous branch of Elasticsearch
(5.x for master, 5.4 for 5.x, etc) or you can run
`gradle qa:full-cluster-restart:bwcTest` to run this test against
all "index compatible" versions, one after the other. For master
this is every released version in the 5.x.y version *and* the tip
of the 5.x branch.
I'd love to add more to these tests in the future but these
currently just cover the functionality of the `create_bwc_index.py`
script and start to cover the assertions in the
`OldIndexBackwardsCompatibilityIT` test.
